A minor player in Amman’s underworld makes a serious mistake when trying to run away with his girlfriend in Bassel Ghandour’s labyrinthine yet underdeveloped directorial debut.
The Alleys
Set in an eastern district of Amman, the film follows a lowlife whose desire to run away with his respectable girlfriend leads him and others to make very foolish alliances. Unattractively shot and weighed down by too many unappealing, witless characters, “The Alleys” will benefit from backing by various regional showcases including Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Festival, but will have difficulty connecting to more mainstream boulevards.
Pressure is mounting for Lana to accept one of the suitors her mother is pushing, so Ali urges her to run away with him and get married. Just before they flee, he hits on the less-than-brilliant idea of robbing Abbas of the protection money he gathers from the neighborhood, cutting out the racketeer’s tongue during the fight. When Lana discovers Ali’s gun together with a bag full of cash, she realizes the guy she’s in love with isn’t such a great catch after all, so she bolts.
